Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the Supreme Court is allowing the government “to do what it wants” in a scathing dissent after justices allowed the Trump Administration to strip temporary legal protections from hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
Supreme Court justices lifted a lower-court order that kept humanitarian parole protections in place for more than 500,000 migrants from four countries: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The court has also allowed the administration to revoke temporary legal status from about 350,000 Venezuelan migrants in another case.
Jackson said the decision “allows the government to do what it wants to do regardless, rendering constraints of law irrelevant and unleashing devastation in the process.”
